Evan Turner has sore right knee, isn't expected to miss time on upcoming roadtrip

76ers swingman Evan Turner is
suffering from right knee soreness.

Turner, who sustained the knee
pain in Saturday’s 116-106 loss at Milwaukee, “did pull up lame today,” coach
Brett Brown said. The fourth-year man was on the court briefly Sunday, as the
team went through a light practice that largely involved stretching and recovery
conditioning following games on back-to-back nights.

Brown said Turner would be a
game-time decision if the Sixers had a game in the near future. Given that the
Sixers (8-20) don’t play again until Saturday in Phoenix, Brown sounded
optimistic that Turner shouldn’t miss any time.

“He has a sore knee. It’s
nothing to be concerned about,” Brown said. “He played a lot of minutes the
night before in a tough win (Friday in overtime against Brooklyn). He had a
great game.”

Turner, the Sixers’ leading
scorer, is averaging 19.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists. He’s the only
player to have appeared in all of the Sixers’ 28 games.
